Chapter 382: Shadow’s Teacher
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At one corner of the vast yet lifeless Midworld, there was a dark valley hidden in the shadow of mountains.
A lone wizard tower stood in the valley; it was surrounded by darkness and the pale light of a cold moon.
Unlike the harsh environment, the inside of the tower was warm and cozy.
On the top floor of the tower, a fireplace burned brightly as several fire-element spirits who just earned intelligence chased around playfully. However, they immediately dived back into the fire when they saw the girl in the black dress outside.
“What, my beauty isn’t enough to arouse your inspiration?” She spoke in her “double voice” at a tall male figure who was working at a workbench.
No response.
She moved closer and checked the man’s work with her crimson eyes.
Isabella wasn’t offended at all since she experienced such treatment many times. Besides, she was trying to seduce this man for another secret reason.
She dusted her skirt a little and headed out of the tower.
“Where are you going?”
“Back to Dark Castle, duh.”
The man summoned his female puppets to block Isabella’s path. “Don’t forget about what we agreed on.”
“You just said I can do whatever I want, right? And don’t worry, I’m not doing anything to Diablo. I’m going back to deal with someone else,” Isabella said while thinking about the image of a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man in her message.
“Someone else got into the Soul Genesis Garden?” The man grew curious.
“Together with your chicken student, I think. But this one’s a lot more able-minded than Diablo, that coward,” Isabella said and tried to move around the puppets.
She tried and failed. The puppets swiftly blocked her way no matter which way she went.
“What’s this supposed to mean?” Isabella felt really irritated now.
“We agreed that we are not going to stop Diablo from using anything to achieve his goal.”
By this, he meant that Diablo’s helper was also a viable method.
Isabella rolled her eyes. She thought about her guest who was visiting Dark Castle and decided to comply for now.
“Fine, I’ll stay here. You know, Diablo might get Naga if I’m there to watch him. But if I’m not… I don’t know what’ll happen!”
The man didn’t question Isabella’s hint. He was still working on his puppet with the smile of a freak.
Isabella only snickered in response to the silent treatment.
Her guest wasn’t the kind type, especially now. If Diablo ran into her… He would definitely look ugly.
“So unlucky for you to do it at this special year, kid…” Isabella muttered to herself. “Guess you’ll have to accept your fate.”
…
“You’ll have to accept your fate! Give up!” Shadow laughed madly.
A beautiful woman lay on the ground in front of him. She was still carrying the same expression before she was knocked out, which was both surprise and confusion.
She was the one who came to the Sorcerer’s Garden from Dark Castle, ‘Mercy Witch’ Fiona.
As for why Fiona ended up here…
According to Gummy, the ceremony would persist for three days, during which Fiona would stay in Hippocrotee.
Gummy provided another piece of important information—that the visitors from Citadel would all stay inside a palace south of Hippocrotee. Krakoks spent almost 100 years to build something to house a human visitor.
Since they knew the exact time of Fiona’s arrival and her destination, Shadow proceeded to kidnap her by waiting in the middle on her scheduled path.
Fiona was also a level-3 wizard, but when caught by surprise, she had no choice but to succumb to Shadow’s dirty tricks.
Previously, Shadow prepared to have at least a decent fight with her. Yet Angor’s illusion saved them all the effort. Fiona was trapped in the mist illusion before she could resist.
An Illusionist was always the best when it came to backstab unwary victims.
Once Fiona was lost in the illusion, Shadow simply knocked her out. Actually, even Shadow wasn’t prepared to accept the easy victory.
Next, he unleashed his strings from his fingers, which sank into Fiona’s limbs.
When Fiona reopened her eyes, they showed emotionless glares rather than intelligence, which meant she was now another puppet controlled by Shadow.
“Got’er. Let’s continue with my plan.”
